WEll the Sean from NRG the guy who owns the place came to the end of the trak and looked at it and he said i either got water in the combustion chamber or i broke a rod....and i know i didn't get water in the combustion chamber so its prolly just a rod...he said the same thing.....so now i think im goin to rip apart the engine and see exactly how much damage i did and then go from there....if i didn.t do too much damage im goin to rebuild it and start buying turbo parts and just keep the head and block of this engine and get it bored out and then ported and polished and then just go completely drag and strip it and all

i know a guy that just did a cyclone swap that has his old turbo motor laying aroud. The head gasket proally went causing the water in the chamber. I would have some one look over it before you belive what some one thinks is wrong with it... Is the car fwd or all?

yank the motor and find out whats wrong with it, do a budget turbo buildup
if the block isnt cracked this would be a great time to start a build up project

Yeah when i popped the hood sat. right after i blew it just a lil smoke was comin out of the air filter and out of one of the screw holes that there was no screw in rihgt above the cams.......one of my friends said i may have just blown a piston ring and it got jammed in between piston and pistonwall te fore that is why the engine locked up

um dude :matt:, j/k, i have no room to talk, but there is a possibility it is a head gasket, was ur car blowing white smoke before it blew up? It is a possibility.
